Note that you'll also need to install XMing if you want to run the Inkscape GUI.
This should work too, it is a very recent version of Cygwin's X11 server pruned down to the minimum size (ie, just the X11 pieces, without the rest of Cygwin)

If you'd be up for writing a step-by-step procedure for folks, that would be good to include on the Inkscape wiki; or perhaps even on the main website if it can be boiled down to just a few steps.
The WSL build would be more useful if it could be coerced into building a native Windows application, so that an X11 server wouldn't be necessary.
If that can be done, then shouldn't it be possible to cross build for Windows on Linux directly?
